Well, I just bought a Cambridge DAC Magic with the iD100 dock and love it. It is time to get a new integrated amp and I think I have narrowed it down to the Cambridge 340/350 or the NAD C316BEE. These are around $400 or so. I intend, in the next six months to upgrade my current speakers (B&W DM 302s) to the B&W 685s. Any thoughts on these amps? Other suggestions? Am I foolish to not save a few more bucks and buy up a level, so to speak? (e.g. Cambridge 550 or 650/NAD C326BEE)
Any help is appreciated. Oh, and I dont care about a phono amp. When the time comes to upgrade to phono, I will likely buy a whole new system and keep this one for the laptop/ipod.
Thanks!
